Book Reviews of Fundraising For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))

Book Review: fundraising for dummies
Summary: 3 Stars

A reasonably good book with a lot of "How To" tips. Particularly good for beginners in fund raising. I don't particularly like the "Dummy" format, but got some good "nuggets" to use for my situation.
